Chapter 19 The Man Who Takes the Dust

Luoyun Village, the nearest village of 100 people at the foot of Buzhou Mountain, is about ten miles away from the military camp of the Western Zhou Dynasty.

When Candle Tian walked to the village, it was already getting dark, so he had to find a family to spend the night. The family was clearly one of the better off the village, with a pile of miscellaneous items outside the door, the vermilion wooden door looked twice as large as the other small households, and a dustpan was placed on a small wooden cart next to the door, and inside it was some freshly harvested wheat.

Candle Tian stepped forward and pulled the iron ring of the wooden door, and it took a long time for a refreshed old man to come out. A coarse cloth coat wrapped his fat body, and the horizontal flesh on his face was reflected in Candle Tian's eyes with the moment the door was opened, and he was still trembling, as if he was showing the wealth of his family. The big belly is erect high, and the waist can no longer be found at all, and the cloth shoes on which the two feet are stepped on are already very full, and it seems that as long as the old man exerts his strength, the shoes will be propped up. A pair of figures of eight must be turned to the sides along the corners of the mouth.

The old man asked, "Is there anything wrong?"

Candle Tiandao: "Hello uncle, I am a mountain swordsman who has come down the mountain for the first time, I have just arrived in Guibao Land, I am not familiar with life, such as today, I want to spend a night with my scholar, I don't know if it is inconvenient for the old man?"

The old man stared at the candle sky for a long time, and said, "Since you are the first to come here, you don't look like some bad people, so come in, but no matter what sound you hear at night, I hope you don't blame you." ”

The old man's name was Jia Fu, and he took the two of them to the living room to chat a few words, and by the way, he put the burden and the big knife on his body in the corner of the living room, and then followed Jia Fu to the outermost room on the right. said: "You will rest here for the night, and if there is any neglect, please don't blame you." After a while, I asked the old woman to bring hot water and supper to the two of you, and I hope you don't dislike it. ”

Candle Tian was grateful and said, "Then there is Uncle Lao, we will leave tomorrow morning and disturb the two of us to rest." ”

Jia Fu said: "Don't bother, it's just, hey." After speaking, he walked to the living room with a sad face, as if he was really waiting for someone to arrive, but it was really inconvenient for Candle Tian to ask anything. But the unicorn was very curious and said, "I don't know why my uncle sighed, is there any secret? If it is convenient, please tell me one or two, if it can help you, it can be regarded as a little bit of our heart." ”

Jia Fu didn't reply, but returned to the living room in a reluctant. The minutes passed quickly, and the dim kerosene lamp in the living room had begun to flicker, and the figure of the old man was also swaying back and forth with the light on the living room wall. Probably feeling sleepy, or maybe it was because the lights were gradually dimming, the figure of the old man stood up, swaying up and down, but by the time the figure quieted down again, the lights were already much brighter. It turned out that the old man was picking up the wick.

Candle Tian shook his head and smiled, he wanted to go out and ask the old man why he didn't fall asleep late at night, but when he remembered the old man's explanation in the evening and the old woman's red and swollen eyes, he knew that there must be nothing good. After waiting for a while, Candle Tian began to feel a little sleepy, and then he heard a lot of hurried footsteps shouting outside the door, and the sound came and went, causing the neighbor's dog to bark a few times, as if in response to the incessant knocking outside.

With a few dog barks, all the dogs in the whole village began to bark, and the village suddenly became noisy. Occasionally, there was a few creaks of the door opening, followed by the sound of the owner barking at the dog, and then the dog began to whimper a few times and stopped barking desperately. But this did not affect the other dogs, trying to compete for the momentum of you high and low, the village was still noisy, after all, the old man's own big yellow dog did not stop barking.

The old man walked out of the door, looked at the big yellow dog that kept rushing out of the door, and the iron chains that were tightened again and again, and said with a kind face: "Rhubarb, be quiet." ”

Probably understanding the old man's words, the big yellow dog also whimpered a few times, and dragged the long chain back to his kennel. Not a word.

The old man walked to the door and struggled to remove the stick, and then a young man broke into the room with a dozen uniformed armorers. After sitting down in the living room, he seemed to be saying something, and after a few answers, the old man fell to his knees in panic and helplessness, and kept kowtowing to a young man with a whisk in his hand.

Candle Tian was very curious, so he pretended to want to ask the old man about the location of the thatched house, and he also walked into the living room, so he could see it clearly. It turned out that it was not the old man who knelt on the ground just now, but was forced by the young man who held the dust with a spell.

Candle Tian stepped forward and said: "I am a swordsman who came to stay overnight, and I had a bad stomach in the inn during the day, and I want to ask my uncle where the thatched house is." ”

The young man glanced around and pointed to the ordinary knife in the corner, which still had traces of rust. said: "You mean that scrap iron, which can also be considered a knife?

This kid didn't say hello to me in advance when he came to my house, and he wanted to know the location of the thatched house. Do you want to know where the beautiful lady in the village is?"

Candle Tian approached the old man, bent one knee to help the old man up, and said, "Uncle, what is going on, I hope to be able to tell you one or two and see if we can help anything." ”

The young man was very impatient, and said, "Thatched house, are you idle, don't you see that we have something?" As soon as these words came out, the big yellow dog also barked, but when he saw the young man waving his fist, the big yellow still quietly returned to the kennel and didn't dare to squeak again.

But who is Candle Tian, he is a famous little overlord in Quicksand Village, this mortal dares to be so rude, and it is just a matter of coercing the old couple, and ridiculing himself is looking for a fight, which is intolerable.

The young man just wanted to laugh out loud, showing off his mighty figure and domineering that was difficult to hide. I saw a big mouth hit him in the face, and the young man flew out of the living room almost without saying a word, fainting early, just wanting to show off his right hand and the whisk he was holding, just stretched out straight under the domination of consciousness, but his mouth had long been unable to say domineering words that could shock the audience.

Seeing the young man being beaten in one move, those armorers rushed forward one after another, and before the old man could say a word, they all lay on the ground and wailed, scolding and scolding in their mouths, but the pain was terrible, or maybe they were frightened, and they babbled and kept talking, but the blood on the corners of their mouths confirmed that no one could understand their words.

A few of the armorers who were not unconscious seemed to be very unconvinced, and when they saw that they could not speak, they raised their arms and pointed at the candle sky, and their expressions seemed to be extremely painfully distorted, and they seemed to be very unconvinced and angry and hideous.

How could the unicorn tolerate his master being pointed at with his fingers, and effortlessly stepped forward and removed all the arms of everyone, and then said with a satisfied smile: "Be good, if you are not good, as he said, chop up and feed the dogs." He pointed his finger at the man holding the whisk.

When the soldiers saw the unicorn's domineering figure, and the smile and coldness when they unloaded everyone's arms, the scene instantly fell silent, and even the old man who wanted to explain something quickly shut up.

Candle Tian looked at the panicked old man and the old woman, and said, "Go and rest, I will see as many things as I like." ”

After speaking, Candle Sky and the unicorn threw a group of people out of the gate like a dead dog, closed the wooden door, and put on the top of the door stick, and then took the unicorn to sleep peacefully, and slept until early in the morning, the sun was shining, and then stretched out, woke up the unicorn, left ten copper plates on the table, and prepared to get up and hurry.
